The way Blanche says “LESBIAN” when she finally understands is so perfect
Laaaaaaahhhhhesssbian!!
The girls were absolutely PERFECT, their dynamics, FLAWLESS. Betty was right, cant split ‘em up. ❤️❤️❤️
Watching this still makes it hard to believe that they are gone.
Betty is 99 now and looks FAB. She celebrates her 100th in January 2022. Long live Betty White... the last of the Fabulous “Golden” Four. ❤️❤️❤️
And now they're together again. RIP Betty
@@Buckaroo_Baldwin RIP Betty.xx
RIP Betty. She had more talent in her pinky than all the actresses on tv today together
@@twism_2023 You know it isn't honoring someone's memory by shitting on other people. Have you fully examined every single actress on TV "today"? Who are YOU to judge every single actress on TV today?
RIP Betty White
OH my gosh... that's the funniest scene when Blanche is like, "Gene has the hots for Rose? To think Gene prefer Rose over me?! That's RIDICULOUS! If you had to pick between me and Rose who would you pick?" I LOVE it! : )
maggiewishbone80 It wasn’t Jean? I thought Gene was a man’s name. Gene Barry.
I am so glad that people made use of this time to get the perspective of the remaining cast.
Betty White has outlived all the "Golden Girls" and is still a superbly funny actress. I hope she lives and works until she's in her hundreds. :)
1127Aec And now she's 96!!! I want her to live forever!
She's 98 now and looks amazing!!!! God bless her💕
Betty is now resting in paradise with the rest of the Golden Girls!
Here's a little known fact that will TOTALLY blow your mind! Did y'all know that Terry Hughes, the primary director for the first five seasons of The Golden Girls, directed the pilot episode of That '70s Show?! Well, he did! But here's another little known fact! The primary director of That '70s Show, David Trainer, also directed episodes of Designing Women!
Terry Hughes also directed a lot of Friends episodes, the man knows his craft.
@@lanavandutch5591 Obviously.
Do u know what I find amazing Estelle died in 2008 Bea died in 2009 and rue died in 2010 1year after each other and another thing Betty was the oldest wow what a brave bunch
Golden Girls & Married With Children are my all time favorite shows of all time.
Pixiebabe Hahaha
The Danny Thomas line was doubly funny since his son was the producer of the series.
Blanche: "Black?...Benjamin wasn't black; he was from New Jersey....I went to my senior prom with a yankee!!"
And then she finds out she was yankee, and jewish
Bah ha ha!
4 hours without a wimp of complain 😳. She is strong and has grit. Don't ever do that to me, I'll pass out in thirty minutes
I didn't know Danny founded St Jude! Awesome!!! Bless his heart for that!
They were very good while they were here and we only have the memories, thank God 😉
I loved all the GG’s but Blanche will always hold a special place in my heart. She’s pure camp.
“Not Lebanese, Blanche, LESBIAN!” 😂😂😂 #classic
🌹
Lesbian. Lesbian. 😳LESbian 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Unless a lesbian sheds, then I don't know"
It's interesting in the "lesbian" scene they would mention Danny Thomas, as Danny is the father of Tony Thomas, one of the producers of the show. :)
It's so brilliant the name they came up w/ for rue " blanche Deveraux " since she is a southern belle it sounds very much like blanche Dubois in street car a woman from the old south & played by Vivienne leigh of course played scarlett a southern belle too. It's just so smart
It's also cool how the 4 ladies came from such different locations blanche the south , rose the midwest & dorothy & sophia the north east. ( only the west coast wasnt represented but it's fine ) so w/ all of them living in Miami & telling their stories of their lives u get a feel for the small town mid west the southern old school wealth & of course the 2 big city gala from brooklyn u even get a double dose from sophia that sophia hailed from old world sicily. U always knew it was gonna be hilarious whenever she said " picture ir sicily 1922..." lol
Interesting to hear Betty talk about her and Bea being friends because I heard another interview where she said that Bea didn't like her.
Yes. In an interview After Bea died, Betty said she was mean to her.
Being friends prior and being friends after working for 7 years, you see a lot more of someone and your relationship may change.
It's weird that Betty would say she and Bea were good friends before the show because in a recent interview she stated Bea didn't care for her very much at all...
They were all friends. During the seven year run, Bea refused to go to the studio cafeteria during their lunch break without Betty. It just that while during rehearsal during the week for the show Betty got on Bea 's nerves sometimes. Off the set they were close in real life.
I'd rather live with a lesbian than a cat still cracks me up lol
The Lifetime Channel needs to do a movie about the show and it's title could be maybe: "Forever Golden: The Story of the Golden Girls."
Does anyone realize that the reverse order of the girls winning the Emmys is the exact same order in which they died? Let me show you:
First: Betty White (Won in 1986, still alive)
Second: Rue McClanahan (Won in 1987, died of a stroke in 2010)
Third: Bea Arthur (Won in 1988, died from cancer in 2009)
Fourth: Estelle Getty (Won in 1988, died from dementia in 2008)
Ironic, huh?
Armon Owlia Productions Illuminati confirmed
Add to that the order in which they sit down in the scene where Rose says”what happens when there’s only one of us left” is identical to the order in which they died (will die in the case of Betty White).
@@TravelingBibliophile bloody strange- as strange as Rutger Hauer dying in 2019 the same as his most well known character replicant Roy Batty in Blade Runner.
Also the GG tackled serious topics like aids ( rose got a letter telling her she had a blood transfusion from a hospital b4 it was screening for diseases like hiv/aids, or addiction when rose had been taking pills for her back that also she relied in for sleep. Infidelity & divorce w/ dorothy ^ ex stan alternative ways or getting pregnant w/ blanche's daughter had a sperm donor & the very foward thinking & showing of homosexuality & on top of that dealing w/ a relative who has come out. They did a really good job w/ blanche's gay brother clay. It started off w/ blanche in denial than not accepting her baby brother to to her acceptance than her accepting he had a boyfriend to blanche getting rocked w/ clay wanting to get married & she could not accept that. This was major b/c as long as her brother wasnt flaunting being gay she was good but when he wanted to marry she's flipped. This led to one of my favorite moments when blanche & sophia are talking & sophia says " why did u & George * blanche's deceased husband * & blanche simply states " b/c we loved eachother " & sophos says " well doesn't clay serve that too ? " such a great scene.
I'm 33 now, but I think I first saw that episode when I was about 17(in 1997), and I thought Danny Thomas was a real Lesbian female until Dorothy said, "Not Lebanese, Blanche!" I had no idea he was the founder of St. Jude's Children's Hospital and a long time television personality! LOL : )
I'm Jewish & Sophia totally reminds me of my 90 yr old mom. The only thing was that Sophia liked to cook & my mom would always claim she was "allergic" to the kitchen.Also, loved all the "Girls" ; they were hilarious & had terrific chemistry together👍 P. S. I thought Blanche was from Virginia , not Atlanta..
Allergic to the kitchen 😂 that's sweet
I think writers struggled with what to with Rose's background. First, she was raised on a farm, then she her family were Vikings, later her family were Swedish. So wish Rose's family background was American Farming through out the eight season run of her character. But I love the Golden Girls I own about 10 sets of the complete series of the Golden Girls. I also bought all the seasons of The Golden Girls on You Tube. This my family and I love them. I just wish Rose's family background would stop changing through the run of the program.
If you remember its also said that they find her on a doorstep. Which adds even more mystery into her story.
In one episode she said a lot of her family stories were told by her Grandfather. He was off his rocker pretty much. Rose realizes he’s probably not the best source. But it makes sense to be from Minnesota, farm family but with Swedish heritage.
"lesbian... Lesbian... LESBIAN..."
Classic line. One of Blanche's funniest.
....and I'm nit from atlanta.
😂
what they said about betty white was true cause she's the only one still alive
Terry Hughes was sure a silver fox
The only thing that would have made this show more perfect than it already was, would have been a reoccurring role made by Lucille Ball. So many possibilities but you can't turn back the hands of time.
Russell Overton A recurring role for Lucy would have destroyed the dynamic.
Bea was frosty with Lucille sometimes due to Mame .. I think they made up in the end though.
Harvey Mandrel 😂😂🤣😂🤣
The fabulous Rue McClanahan is so hilarious.
Not many women can be funny. These four were the funniest women ever. One of my absolute favorite shows
Im a 34 y/o male btw lol
It's kinda sad to hear Betty say about Bea "We were friends", knowing that Bea didn't really like Betty.
Simon Charles I don’t think she disliked Betty, I just think Betty got on her nerves lol
I love Bea and Dorothy was my favorite character, but in real life (even according to one of her sons) Bea Arthur was eccentric. She didn’t like chewing gum, wearing shoes, birds singing, and overly positive people. Betty was one of those positive people. Also, Betty was a tv veteran from the 1950’s and would memorize her lines almost immediately and have fun with the audience if she or one of her co-stars flubbed theirs. Bea, on the other hand, was from the stage and kept her script in hand until taping, only learning the lines through rehearsing and repetition. She tried to stay in character and not break the fourth wall by interacting with the audience.
@@jimhaggard7436 maybe Bea was more Maude in reality than she was Dorothy.. I love Dorothy but Bea seemed a little difficult..
@@desertrose1226 she might’ve been. Bea was very sensitive, especially about her looks, yet the writers of the GG were always making fun of Dorothy’s height and manliness. They almost never disparaged Betty and Rue about their appearance. It could’ve taken a toll after a while.
RUE MCCLANAHAN ❤❤❤
Wasn’t she beautiful?
She was so youthful and vivacious!
"she was a tent pole" litterally
I watched golden girls while i was around 10-15 years old on tv and i found them hilarious...It was a show younger people could enjoy...The older Generation tended to be so stern/uptight and they turned that narrative upon it's head...Just cause you're 50+ u don't need to act like your older than dirt...
9:57 - wow...
That is true. Betty said on one of her interviews that "Bea isn't fond of me". You can check it on youtube. She didn't say why or what happened, she said she loves Bea though. Rue said the same thing on her book. It's even reported that Bea called Betty with a C word. Bea and Betty are both close to Rue. Maybe they are really friends for years but had fallen out. I've seen Bea and Betty's interviews together, they seem fine. Who knows what happened. I love Golden Girls. No matter what.
Can anyone tell me the name of that piece that starts playing at 9:11?
❤❤❤❤
8:10 the voice that should be today
SHRIMP??
cont. "unless the lesbian sheds." ^_^ Hahaha!
They didn't age a bit even if they died.
What's with the M word in reference to Roses date? So he's a little person, so what? He's just a person. So much Abelism on shows like this as someone whose disabled I find it offensive.
Well if it bothers you I suggest you don't watch it because comedy is comedy and if you're easily offended then you'll never enjoy comedy.
Tbh I was a bit offended by the episode where Dorothy’s son Michael marries a WOC it’s quite racist and sadly ageist as she is older than Michael. Her age is all they go on about and she’s only 44. However it hasn’t quelled my enjoyment of the show. It’s still my favorite.
That was the PC term then. Also watch the episode there's more to it.
Show went down hill the last 3 seasons just wasn’t as funny
You are wrong...Bea loved Betty, they were all close friends...check your facts before you say something like that...grrr to you..dont post on this page
Nikki Matchett Betty White said it herself. Perhaps mistakenly, deliberately, I dunno. But she did.
They were close friends she just didn't like her cheerful personality.
I think you are flirting with danger with your criminal nature.
not good
9:39-9:54 🤣🤣🤣
structural abuse isn't a joke
I need you to prepare yourself for prison
